CHEBOYGAN — It appears as though City council will be dealing with only a few action items at its Tuesday night meeting at council chambers in city hall.

One of the items coming back to council are revised Festival Square Rental documents. During the last regular council meeting, discussion was held and City Manager Dale Stuart has made some revisions council wanted to see.

According to Kirsten Guenther, downtown enhancement administrator, one of the changes made was a $250 charge was added for non-residents to rent the facility. She also said a 30-day clause has been added where if a reservation is cancelled, the $150 deposit fee is lost, unless the event is rescheduled.

Council also will be asked to approve to appointments. One is for Roger Kopernik to the planning commission and the other is for George N. Chorey to the zoning board of appeals.

There also is one public hearing slated. That is for the close-out of two Community Development Block Grants ― "Woolworth Site Re-Use Project" and "Cheboygan Vibrant Small Cities Initiative."
